AFAIK these bugs are fixed in current cvs HEAD...

The planned release date for 1.2.0 is March 7th as specified in the 
gnome 2.10 schedule at http://gnome.org/start/2.9/.

I guess that if needed we can anticipate 1.2.0 a little since there 
aren't any stability problems that concern us, but we should probably 
ask to the release team if that's ok... of course Paolo Maggi has the 
last word on this.

If this is too late for you, I really suggest packaging 1.1.92, since 
what you would get by backporting the above fixes to 1.1.2 would in 
practice be 1.1.92 with the release number changed :)
